killed by an unconscious goblin

Wait... What? You sure?

yeah, i watched the fight very closely, the goblin never awoke from his unconsciousness to deal a blow. even if he did wake up, he was far too injured to fight back.

i guess the dwarf just tripped and landed on the goblin's sword.

Or that was one badass goblin to kill stuff without being conscious. Build it a shrine.

Same with a bow lodging in your abdominal Aorta or your heart. If you remove it, you die.
I'm sure that if an entire bow lodged in your heart you would be pretty much dead anyway...

You'd be surprised what people can survive in this game.  Why, in Fortress mode, I've had a Goblin (Missing an eye and a leg) lying at the bottom of a pond for 2 seasons.  He's just lying there a the bottom unconscious, as if in a state of suspended animation.

Dude's gone Jedi-master on me, and I can't even kill him.

Of course, we'll see who has the last laugh come Winter.

I had that happen to me. A gobbo got pushed down into my moat full of spikes and ended up laying on the same tile of as one of them severely injured. He was taking to long to die, so I dropped a floor on him.

And thus did the dream of dwarven antigravity fade away, not with a massive explosion or a flood of magma, but with a whimper.

I'm going to be depressed all day now.

I was playing a customized creature adventurer, known as a "screamer", which i made to be three times as powerful as a dwarf, when i encountered a dwarf with no legs, one arm, a missing eye, and a lead-and-copper-and-zinc pickaxe.

had the electricity features been implemented, i would have believed what happened.

he sliced off my left ear, and got the pick stuck in my lower body.
i died, from an artifact pickaxe, and a lame dwarf with one arm.

not to mention the countless times wolves have done my guys in.
